A winning double

The Coffs Coast Advocate's 2006 Face of the Carnival, Simone Howe, is loathe to part with this special piece of sporting memorabilia. She's holding the Kings Stand Cup, won by soon-to-be Coffs Harbour stabled Takeover Target in England last month. The Royal Ascot Race Club agreed to let Coffs Harbour Racing Club have the trophy for its upcoming carnival. Simone was one of the cup's many ardent admirers at the Coffs Cup Launch Cocktail Party on Friday night.
